🥘 Ingredients

14 items

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 4 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 cup Brown sugar (for filling)
• 1 tablespoon Ground cinnamon
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for filling)
• 1 cup Brown sugar (for topping)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (for topping)
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional, for topping)

📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. In a small saucepan, warm the milk over low heat until lukewarm (approximately 110°F). Remove from heat and stir in the granulated sugar until dissolved.

2. Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the warm milk mixture, stirring until melted. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast foams.

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 1/2 cups of flour and the salt. Add the milk mixture and crack in the eggs. Stir until a soft dough begins to form, then knead by hand or with a dough hook for about 5-7 minutes, adding the remaining flour as necessary until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.

4. Coat a clean bowl with a bit of oil and place the dough into the bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it doubles in size.

5. To make the caramel topping, combine the brown sugar, butter, and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and bubbling slightly. Pour the mixture evenly into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and sprinkle with nuts if using.

6. Turn the risen dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 16x12 inches.

7. Brush the melted butter for the filling over the surface of the dough. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

8. Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Slice into 12 equal pieces and place them cut-side down into the prepared baking dish with the caramel topping.

9. Cover the dish and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.

10. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake them for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

11. Remove the dish from the oven and let the sticky buns cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the baking dish onto a large serving platter to release the buns and the caramel topping.

12. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey decadence of your homemade sticky buns!
